Roy Stevens (1918-1989), an American trumpet player and innovator, was the co-creator of the Stevens-Costello Triple C Embouchure Technique with William N. Costello.

Stevens considered himself the Embouchure Clinician at Columbia University's Associate Instructor Teacher's College. His book, out of print since his death, has been regarded as one of the most comprehensive trumpet method books of the 20th century, as it explains in-depth the physical and mental laws and aspects of trumpet playing.

The embouchure system that Stevens taught was handed down to his protégé Roy Roman.

From 'Final Bar' in Downbeat Magazine, March 1989:

Roy Stevens, trumpeter with the Dorsey Brothers, Bunny Berigan, Benny Goodman, and on Coleman Hawkins' recording "Body and Soul", died of heart failure October 24 1989 in Riverdale, New York, at age 71. A teacher of embouchure technique, his students included Don Ellis, Maynard Ferguson, and Lew Soloff.

+'''Roy Stevens''' (1918-1989), an American [[trumpet]] player and innovator, was the co-creator of the ''Stevens-Costello Triple C Embouchure Technique'' with William N. Costello.
-[[Image:IrelandEuropePopulation1750.PNG|thumb|left|A graph of the populations of Ireland and Europe indexed against 1750 showing the disastrous consequence of the 1845—49 famine.]]
-Ireland has, throughout most of its history, had a relatively small population; until the 19th century this was comparable to other areas of similar area in [[Europe]]. Ireland experienced a major [[population boom]] in the [[18th century|18th]] and early [[19th century|19th]] centuries, as did the rest of Europe as a result of the [[Agricultural revolution|Agricultural]] and [[Industrial Revolution|Industrial]] revolutions, and at the time had comparable [[Population density|population densities]] to [[Great Britain|Britain]] and [[Western Europe]].
+Stevens considered himself the Embouchure Clinician at [[Columbia University]]'s Associate Instructor Teacher's College. His book, out of print since his death, has been regarded as one of the most comprehensive trumpet method books of the 20th century, as it explains in-depth the physical and mental laws and aspects of trumpet playing.
-However this changed dramatically with the [[Great Famine (Ireland)|Great Irish Famine]] of the mid-19th century, which created conditions of mass starvation and emigration. The famine was by far the most significant turning point in the Demographics of the country, as not only did Ireland's population not grow for the next century, it continued a slow decline, the result of which is that the [[Republic of Ireland]] has a significantly smaller population today then would be expected for a western European country of its size.
+The [[embouchure]] system that Stevens taught was handed down to his protégé [[Roy Roman]].
-Only in the mid-[[20th century]] did the Republic's population start to grow once more, but [[emigration]] was still common until the 1990s. For centuries a relatively poor nation of emigrants, the Demographics of the county changed significantly from the 1990s onwards, as a result of the [[economic boom]] know as the [[Celtic Tiger]]. After this point, [[immigration]] far outweighed emigration and many former Irish Emigrants returned home. Ireland then became an attractive destination for immigrants from a number of nations, mainly from Eastern Europe, but also from Africa, Asia and elsewhere. The nation's population is generally younger then most neighbouring states and its population is now predicted to grow for many decades into the future, bucking the trend of decline that is predicted for most European countries.
+From 'Final Bar' in ''[[Down Beat|Downbeat Magazine]]'', March 1989:<blockquote>
-[[Celts|Celtic culture]] and language forms an important part of the Irish national identity. The [[Irish Traveller]]s are a native ethnic [[minority group]].
+Roy Stevens, trumpeter with the [[Dorsey Brothers]], [[Bunny Berigan]], [[Benny Goodman]], and on [[Coleman Hawkins]]' recording "Body and Soul", died of [[heart failure]] [[October 24]] [[1989]] in [[Riverdale, Bronx|Riverdale]], [[New York]], at age 71. A teacher of embouchure technique, his students included [[Don Ellis]], [[Maynard Ferguson]], and [[Lew Soloff]].</blockquote>
